Jan, Maya and
Sarah run a total of 64 miles per week
How many miles did Sarah run if she ran less than 8 miles compare to Maya and Jan
Jan and Maya = x
Sarah = x
Total miles = 64
=> 64 = x + x + x-8
=> 64 = 3x – 8
=> 72 = 3x
=> x = 24
Since Jan and Maya ran the same miles, they ran 24 miles each
Since Sarah is 8 less than Maya’s and Jan’s ran each
=> x – 8
=> 24 -8
=> 16
Sarah ran 16 miles in a week.
